Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos, Maddo Ranchos. Good morning. Welcome to the Circling Back podcast. It's Tuesday. Beautiful morning here in Austin, Texas. My name is David. Let me introduce our producer. You may know him from his recent trip to Mexico. His name is Randall Trimbecki. Hi, Dave. I went to Mexico.

Check him out. You know what? I'm going to take my time to give a couple shoutouts right now, right off the top. First of all, most importantly, shout out to all the veterans. Thank you for your service. Happy Veterans Day to everyone. Shout number two. Shout to backer Justin, who I saw at the Renfair.

I forgot to give him a shout out yesterday. He just would be crossed. Hope you had a great time. He'll appreciate that. Haza! I was looking for some content earlier and I opened Instagram and there I saw producer Randy shaking that ass on the timeline.

Just shaking it. A bitty-biddy bum bum. Yeah. Right. Where can we find your content, shout out to Selena. You can find it at Randy Trebaki or at washed media. You should be following both.

You should be. It's the Randy takeover on the wash page. go see all the stuff that I got in Mexico. I did a whole video. All the stuff I got from Patron, all the stuff I bought. All that good stuff. You've got to practice how to say moretos.

You've got to. I think he knows. I think he's intentionally thanking it. You've got to give it like you're a shock. Did you guys have to take Spanish in high school? Yeah, it took four years. No way. Yeah.

Really? Yeah. Four years is a lot. Actually, I think I was in like AP Spanish. No way. Really? Come on. That's impressive. Did you have to speak it? Yeah. Okay. They just hung out. Well, it could have it all, you know, just writing it and not practicing the actual... You guys, remember we had Babel? Remember the Babel sponsor? Oh, yeah. I tried. I actually had some, from some Friday nights. Yeah, I was like trying to relearn it because I just lost it. I think it's...

I think it's so cool when people can speak more than one language. I do, too. I wish I was one of those people. The older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. Your brain just doesn't do it. In Europe, they all can speak like three languages, and it's so, I think it's awesome. There's a guy he used to play for the Mavs. He's from Slovenia.

He could speak seven. Who's this guy? Luca Donchich. He could speak seven languages. Isn't that impressive? I think it's really cool, yeah. I would take one. My sister's, my sister is bilingual.

She speaks Spanish. Oh, yeah. Lived in Spain for about a year and a half. I think it's cool, man. Americans, we're just like, oh, English is good enough. And it is the most widely spoken of the languages. Here we go, woke alert. Americans need to be more culture.

I told you about the time when I was in Italy and... Yeah, you told us. Yeah, we saw the hat. And these group of Germans sat down the table next. to us. Uh-oh. The waiter walks up, speaks Italian. They quickly figured out that they weren't to be able to communicate with each other

in their native language. So they both started speaking English. Oh, that's cool. And I thought that was pretty neat to observe. And then what did you do? I was like, hey, they're speaking English now. It's kind of cool. Fucking Axis powers over here.

Germany. You said, whoa, don't get any ideas, guys. Oh, don't tell the Japanese. Hey, guys. They're getting the band back together. They slow down over here. Somehow, World War II didn't come to mind. I just thought it was a neat little thing.

Hey, guys, I'm just joking around. My name's Dylan. I'm from Texas. I have a podcast. I didn't tell him about the pod. Bajorno. Hey, I'm getting some lady fumble emails. I got one today.

Yeah, I think she sent to all of us. Tomorrow's about to be a movie. Tomorrow's about to be a podcast. It is. It is going to be a podcast. Because you know why we're recording listener voicemails. Fumble part do. You didn't introduce me.

Shut. You brought this up. Hey, I'm tugging on the thread. Well, keep tugging, dog, because we need to get there, you know. Stop. Whatever you're doing. It's a visual show, folks. I'm pulling on the thread.

Yeah, tomorrow, we're going to do fumble emails and calls. It's fumble week. Again, we're running it back. We're doubling down. We're doubling down on fumble. I'm Patreon. And this time... it's not just the fellas it's the ladies too if you want to leave a voicemail 888 618

42422 can only get that content on patreon some of you some of you guys and gals you might have been like man i'm you know after spooky season i'm gonna check out for a bit i'm gonna i'm gonna cancel my patreon i'm a posit imagine you're missing out on crazy good content i would wholeheartedly agree with that we've got exactly five going down later today and then Tomorrow, as I mentioned, we're recording listener voicemails, all fumbles. Ladies is fumblers, too. Yeah. I haven't read her email.

Have you? No, I haven't. Did you? I have not yet. But I also saw a comment on one of the videos, something like that. I was like to hear even maybe girls write in about how a guy fumbled with them just to see their perspective. Yeah, absolutely. That, like I'd like to hear from both ends.

Yeah, that's a good idea. The other side of it. Yeah. Dylan Shivry. You ever do this? You ever get, like, a little bit high? And then you come up with, you come up with, like, really good ideas. And then, like, okay, let me just walk you through what happened.

I had, like, half a gummy last night. Not a big deal. I do that sometimes. What kind of gummy? Hometown hero. Okay. So I had a half of one, five milligrams, just enough to get settled in, get nice and cozy. Oh, are there full ones 10?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so I'm sitting there, and it's the coldest, it's the coldest night of the season so far. And we hadn't turned the heater on yet. And we were like, it's about time to go to bed. And I'm like, it sucks. We have to heat the whole house just for the one room that we're sleeping in.

And I was like, man, what if there was a thermostat where you could, like, it was zone controlled, you know? You can only, like, heat up certain parts of the house. I was like, I'm about to be a billionaire. Again, I'm high, right? Okay. I'm like, I'm about to be a freaking billionaire. This is a genius idea. Yeah, this is right up your alley.

It's going to save on energy. I'm going to go file a patent tomorrow. I'm going to get, you know, it's going to save on energy, you know. It's already been done. It's definitely a thing. It's just called a multi-zone thermostat, and it's definitely out there available to everybody already. So how does that work logistically? It was a good idea, right?

It comes from the central heating unit. So I'm just wondering how it avoids all the other rooms. So I'm just the idea guy. You haven't got the R&D? I was going to hire an engineer to actually come up with the, they come up with the. You're more D than R. I'm just the idea guy. I'm just the concept guy, you know.

Hey, Dylan, can I put you on something? I was going to, hey, I was going to hand the ball off. Space eater. You ever hear of a space eater? I was going to hand the ball off to the engineer, let him run with that for a little bit. See, you know what I was going to do? Yeah, we use that last night. Oh, God.

What? You're telling me that thing's, he's space. I know. It's really powerful. Space is notoriously very cold. Yeah, it's hard to heat. Almost absolute zero in some places. The closer you get to the sun, though, the warmer it gets.

Solar flares. I have a gravity question for another day that... Why would you bring it up? And you wonder why you didn't get introed. We were hoping you would just fade away. Yeah, I have a gravity question. Just ask the question. You brought it up.

It's a space bar. No, it's, it's probably a really stupid, and I'm supposed to be like the space guy, and this is like a, this is like a space 101, like first week question, probably. I knew some guys who at tech their freshman year. There's a bunch of guys from a high school went to tech. This may have been their second year because they were living in an apartment off campus, but there's a guy who got really into G-Unit, and G-Unit had a song, Stunt 101. Yeah. I'll teach you how to stunt my room seven. It's all right.

Yeah. And one of the guys got real drunk and got some kind of, I don't know if it was a marker or something. And he wrote Stunt 101 really big on one of their walls inside of their apartment. And they didn't get their deposit back. Because this guy, kind of a fringe guy, wrote Stunt 101. Uh-huh. In permanent marker? I don't know what he used to write it.

It almost felt, if I remember the story, right, it wasn't like a. writing device device device like it was like a did he carve it with a knife or something he did something it sounds like drugs were involved i don't think they i don't it was very dumb but it was very dumb to write that like someone who gets that into a song i'm like hey remember that deposit we didn't get back as your roommate you're gonna go ahead and just pay me what i would have gotten back had you not no i i think that was uh if i remember correctly and these are friends of flounder you're friends of mind they there was like a disagreement about the end like hey we did get the deposit back and the other guy was like no it's not just because i wrote stunt 101 on the wall there's other things too

and then i know i wasn't that was the main thing like the first thing you see in our apartment is stunt 101 yeah i think that's on i think that's on you dude and you'll be shocked to learn those guys got absolutely zero chicks so really yeah the chicks weren't really digging it they're like They weren't stunting? No, they're like, okay, that's, yeah, that's a thing that you wrote on the wall. What an idiot. Yeah, it's not a good look. Not a good look.

It's Tuesday. We don't need to do all the housekeeping. You know what it is. You already know what it is. You already know what it is. I'll tell you what it is right now, Fair Harbor. Oh, it is, isn't it? It's always Fair Harbor, man.

We got some wind yesterday, some chatter, some booty chatter that Mav's ownership was not very happy with the job that their general manager was doing. Their general manager, Nico Harrison, who we've talked about many times, who weirdly goes to Twin Peaks in Addison with his daughter, his younger daughter, at night, and sits in a very, very prominent table right by the street.

with an open they open the just lets any passer by make comments anyway the worst place you can be sitting if you're Nico Harris I don't even I'm I'm a civilian and I don't want to sit there

yeah I don't want some guy walks by guy's just chirping you yeah I don't want people just fucking nachos pussy yeah you fucking idiot nice nachos pussy that's what they would say to me yeah

hope that beer's cold I don't want to be seen inside of a Twin Peaks from the road or nachos embarrassing thing to order? Like, I don't know. I was like, dude, I'm with a couple of my buddies, man.

Can you leave me alone? These are chicken fajita nachos. They're pretty good. Why does that make me a pee? Nice nachos pussy. That's great, dude. Some guy just snatches my hat off and runs. Anyway.

Remember when girls used to do that? Like, they're flirting with you? I hated that so much. Yeah, I did too, mainly because I was balding. Can I have my hat back? like I got you know my hair's all messed up yeah mine's all gone and you guys funny well I was thinking more like we were kids when you had you had a fool I don't find it funny David I'm sorry he would make light of such a situation

hey nice nachos pussy just imagining someone saying that like as they're walking by like dude come on what do you even say back to that turn around, I was like, yeah, that's right. I don't say shit. That's right. I was like, dude, what? You have no comeback for that.

Like, they're just nachos, man. Yeah, dude, it's, you should try it. It's actually a good menu. They're decent, yeah. To a peach is good. Mavs played the Bucks, hosted the Bucks last night. And I tuned in and, um, Cooper flag looked great 26 points career high his best game is a mav

came down to the wire didn't get it done it's all right yonis is a great player bucks are a good team um but this this season has been a mess they're three and eight they don't have a point guard um they don't have a play they don't have a shot creator they don't have a lot of things it's a very weird team you watch them and you're like all right so we've got this 18 he's 18 18. Cooper flag is 18. And it's like, all right, well, you're a rookie. You're 18. You're going to not only, we need you to be like our best defender. We're going to have you like bring the ball up too. You're going to kind of initiate the point, the point position a little bit. It just never fit. It looks weird. Anyway, AD has been hurt. I think he's put, I don't even know how many games he's played. It seems like a handful. It's kind of his thing, though, right? Yeah, which is a really good reason to not trade for. him yeah also a really good reason to not trade your generational franchise player for him i don't

really need to explain what happened um i texted uh our friends jake landry and kj and a little side text we we have um this mainly dallas sports stuff and i text him last week i was like i don't think nico's going to see christmas there's no way this team is too bad there's too much heat um The Adelson family who bought the Mavs and Patrick Dumont, who is the guy who married into the Adelson family, who is now the Mavs, not GM, but he's like the president of the Mavs now. Everybody hates him. But like if there's one thing billionaires don't like, there's a lot of things. They don't like paying taxes, right? They don't really like looking dumb.

And they look like, they look really, really dumb. Because they bought the Mavs, they didn't know the first thing about basketball. That became very clear when A, they traded Luca. When they agreed to that trade, that was like, oh, they don't know ball. And then in the weeks and months afterward, the more they spoke, the more Dumont spoke, you're like, this guy's completely unfamiliar with the game of basketball. He's, like, out there, like, he has some talking points as to why you would trade a guy like Luca for a guy like AD.

And he's like, he like, he like starts naming, like, players of the last, like, 15, you. like 15, 20 years, like Shaquille O'Neal. Like he named like the players that like your grandma can name, right? And it's like, oh my God, dude. And he's talking about like defense wins championships, all this stuff that like, you're like, this guy's in, this guy's so far over his skis, it's unbelievable. Anyway, Nico clearly had some personal thing with Luca, trades him, sold Dumont on it. And I don't think they, first of all, they did not know the city.

They did not know how beloved Luca was in the town, what he meant and what it would mean to move him on a random Saturday night in late January. The whole thing is a mess. Do you buy the conspiracy that that was organized by the NBA to get Luca to L.A. And then the Mavs consolation would get the first overall pick in the lottery? it's like i hate to admit it but i've i have given that more thought in the recent weeks yeah there's very little evidence other than like what you see on its face right but yeah that that would not shock me especially what look at the state of sports look at look at how corrupt sports is like in general super generic question uh statement by the way but like at the end of

the day, it is an entertainment business. And for the Mavs to make that move, send like a top two or three player in the league to L.A. Their first or second biggest market. And then just happened to land the first pick when they had like a very, very little chance of doing so. It makes the conspiracy makes sense. There's a lot of smoke. But anyway, you knew he, I was very certain that Nico was not going to finish the year out as a GM. It was too toxic. Last night, for example, you have PJ Washington. He's got three free throws at the end of the game to tie it and send it to overtime. He missed the second one. But as he's shooting free throws, at home, by the way, a fire Nico champ breaks out. You could hear on the TV. This was how many days ago? This is last night.

Last night. Fire Nico champ broke out last night during a critical, like your own guy is shooting free throws to send the game to overtime. That's how, like, that's how crazy it's gotten. And genuinely, I could not be happier, but, like, I mean, I could be happier because, like, Luca could still be here and all that. And I could still be, like, looking forward to going home three, four nights a week and throwing on league pass and watching that dude who has consumed much of the last four or five years of my life. It made everybody. I know who followed Mavs basketball very happy through good and bad um it's just insane and yeah it's it's great to see Nico gom but like what's done is done i'm happy for Cooper flag he looks like he's going to be

that dude it sucks that he's like 18 and he has to this is his like experience the NBA is like everybody's chanting fire nico and he knows oh yeah they're chaining fire nico because they got rid of the other guy and that's how i ended up here yeah so it's a very awkward spot for he's a kid dude 18 years old yeah it's a lot on it's a lot on his shoulders it's a lot to to process and the fact that the team they built around him that team like okay minus ad but like all those other players they were brought in that roster was created for lucca like that's a team that you bring in you make when like to to cover up for lucas like defensive um weaknesses and stuff and now it's like oh yeah now we're going to insert cooper flag here oh and we brought

AD and also he'll play like 15 games a season because he cannot stay healthy and he's on the wrong side of 30. So it's like bittersweet. It's fun. The memes are going to be fun. It's going to be fun doing some Twitter. It's been a fun day on Twitter so far but like it's just

it sucks man. But it's a good day. It's a same time. It's a good day. Bad people still own the team. They're not going to sell the team but it's a start. it's a start um but damn dude i i didn't think it was going to happen today i i was walking out of the i was walking out you know the little lifetime cafe went on your right when you're walking

out i just looked at the tv i saw i saw stephen a and i was like oh he's talking masks i could see the little maz logo at the bottom so i just i popped in there i did the and it said mads expected to fire and i go i like looked around to see if there's any like mask i was like you all seeing this i was like yeah No, seriously, and there was nobody. Yeah. So I just kind of stood there with my arms crossed, pulled out my phone. That's why I was here at 1045 or 945 today because I was just like catching up on everything.

Playing solitaire. Playing solitaire. By the way, we were right on that. You saw the Solitaire app thing, right? Yeah. Turns out it was like sketchier than we could have imagined. Remind me that what was going on. I saw something on it.

They got Stephen A involved in all Minichime's, uh, Some money laundering situation. Well, they had been sued. The outfit that created that Solitaire app was sued by Minnesota's Attorney General. Somebody sued them, some state for like, it's like you're using bots. You're not like you're gaming people. Oh, that's right. Like it's a very sketchy app.

Yeah. And like that even after all this, Stephen A still got on board. and got all these people, these, like, big ESPN names to do these weird ad posts, hashtag that led with hashtag ad. And your time at Grandex, dude, did you ever lead a tweet, a promoted post with hashtag ad? No. You've probably ended some with that. Yeah.

But nobody has ever, like, there's very, very, like, FTC rules and guidelines on that. You don't have to do that. It's very sketchy all around. Anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, rest in peace, Bozo. Later.

Later, dumbass. He probably got paid. Later pussy. See you. Nice nachos. Nice nachos pussy. That would have been funny or someone said that to him as they walked by. Yeah, I didn't really like how those guys approached him.

Like, it was just kind of, it was weird. I mean, I guess like, I get it. But you should have just said nice nachos, pussy. That would have been funny. That would have been way better. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. Well, Dave,

Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully they get somebody in place who knows what the hell they're doing and has the city's best interest at heart. I kind of like, there is a time where I convinced myself afterward that like, dude, you shouldn't be letting a professional sports franchise, like, upset you and take up this, you know, this much space in your life and all that. And I, like, there is a time where I was like, yeah, that's right. That's the right thought. but it's not the right thought because

anybody who's ever like followed a team that like they really really like and has a player like that that you get to you see drafted or you know you see they bring them in as a freshman if it's a college team and you get to watch him like ups and downs develop and like you're like wow really bought in on this person

and it's something it's it it the MAVs were something that like made life more enjoyable because like it's you know stressful times it was a stressful year and you go home watch the MAVs you're watching this special dude do things that nobody does a lot of things that no one has ever done and then they just move him and you find out they moved him

because of a personal beef with this guy who two years prior was a fucking shoe salesman he was an exec at Nike he wasn't some basketball all lifer. It's unbelievable that this one guy could come in and make that many people. And I may sound like a psycho to you, but there's millions of people in Dallas who felt this way and many more that felt more so. And like for him to, he just had to come in and be like, nah, bye and totally underestimate what he meant to the fans and like what that would mean to the city. Fuck that guy, dude. Fuck that guy. I don't think you're crazy. I get it. I totally get it.

One guy has so much control over a franchise that, like, you derive, like, a lot of joy from. And it's like, man, you're not, you're not doing what you need to be doing to, like, further the franchise. And in the meantime, in doing all this and not just moving Luca, firing Casey Smith, the head trainer, who's regarded as the best trainer in the league, trainer for Team USA, running him out of Dallas because he's one of Luca's guys, running other. guys out of the of the organization because they're one of uh lucas guys before the trade uh in doing so isolating dirk to where dirk it's not that dirk hates the mavs now but like driving him away from the organization really yeah i didn't know that that's bad like dude get out of here man like that's real it's a it's a gross underestimation of what what that guy meant to the I like dude get out of here man it's crazy man just in the last five years this guy who has

no connection to dallas whatsoever just comes in flips everything on its head moves this generational player that like and he wasn't a consensus number one like the mavs were there was a lot of people without the maves were reaching taking him and trading trade you know drafting trade and flipping him for luka taking him third technically like he was people weren't sold on him Like the Mavs like scouting department had been watching Luca and they're like, no, this guy's special. And a lot of people like, ah, he's a Euro, his game won't translate. That's really cool to go out and like take a chance on this guy and he works out. He becomes a generational player.

And then you just move him out for, for AD. And you want to go a different direction. Anyway, I'm talking in circles. I could, I could bitch about it all day. Hey, Nico's gone. I know. I know, Dave. FM.

That's what I say. It's, you know, there will probably be a, I'll probably be. I'll probably have a little cocktail tonight. I'll probably fake smoke a cigarette. And that'll be that. Yeah. I'm happy for you, though, you know? Thank you.

It could be a turning point. And I don't even need this season to, like, turn around. Like, the Mavis be competitive. It's like, I just want to see, like, okay, well, we've got Cooper flag. Now let's start building around him. Let's put him in the best position to where he's not asking for a trade. in the next few years because this is such a cluster fuck. And you have these people who bought the MAVs,

their whole purpose in buying the MAVs, is to bring gambling, like to Dallas, to Texas, you know, put something out there towards, I don't know. And they don't know anything about basketball, but I know something. And I know that Rag and Bone is my favorite paradigm. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

I had to jump right into the read, otherwise I would just sit here and just, uh, I get it. Just talk. You could go on forever. Just therapy. Good thing we have rag and bone to talk about. Men really created a podcast just so they can vent about their sports teams.

Why didn't y'all stop me? People were going to be like, why didn't Randy and Dylan just stop? It seemed like you needed it. I need rag and bone, baby. I need that denim. I'm ready to step out in my denim jacket now that we've got some cooler weather to look forward to. I hate to admit it, but I think that might have been the move getting the jacket. It was.

So go do it. So I told you I had the fall fest, my kid's school. My oldest boy is preschool. That was on Saturday.

It's like a bake sale and stuff. What's going on with it? Not a bake sale, but there were, there was a popsicle stand. Okay. There was a dunk tank. There was bounce houses. There was mini golf. There was playground activities.

There was all sorts of stuff. There was also little tent set up for local vendors, local companies. Like, hey, come sign up for this, like family friendly activities. Well, we were walking to go check out the fire truck. There was a fire truck. And this guy, bald guy, pretty ripped. walked up to me, he goes, what's up, man? I was like, what's up, dude?

And he had a clipboard. I was like, uh-oh, what am I getting into here? Solar panels or something? Good guess. He goes, hey, man, how old's your? And the family kept walking. He's like, hey, how old's your oldest? I was like, man, he's almost five.

He's like, nice, dude. What sports is he in? I was like, well, he's just doing t-ball right now. I loves it. Nice. Thought about doing jiu-jitsu? I was like, Oh, and I like, I had like a, okay, okay.

I was like, honestly, no, I have not thought about putting my four and a half year old in jujitsu. I think I told you this, but Parks did a day of it. I remember. Not even a day, a half day. They let him do a trial. I remember this. And look, it's a pretty intimidating environment. Mostly, well, the kids there are pretty big and they've been doing it for a minute.

and he's got a he he's got to put on his his gie you know his outfit yeah and he's kind of just standing there he's not really sure how to do it he he's kind of like lukewarm in the idea we kind of pushed him into it a little bit just to give him another activity to do but he's standing there watching from the side and it's like you're going to get in there buddy and try but he goes okay he gets out there and you know the instructor shows him some some moves and he's he's trying it out with another kid and he gave it a shot you know and i i applaud him for that do you remember where where this was i don't i could ask was it in westlake by any chance i don't i don't remember okay i don't remember but he gave it a shot he got he looked at me like dad i'm not feeling this dude

no i mean it was it was pretty like they were just showing him a move they weren't like actually going at it you know yeah um a fantastic skill to learn for a kid i think but so he it just wasn't not for him so this dude starts selling me on it and he's like he goes what about you man he says he ever done it i was like no no i was like i'm you know i watch ufc but i respect the art respect the craft but now i've never done he goes you know got a lot of dads they do family role come out with their kids you guys learn it together and i was like man i was like in my head i'm like don't say it don't say it i was like i'm gonna sound like a huge pee i was like man i just i'm 41 i'm not really trying to get like i like i like to play golf i don't really want to have like

i don't want to get my neck cranked you sound like a guy that eats nachos yeah and the guy who eats nachos i'm just not trying to like i already like i already hurt enough i don't really need like another lingering injury you know what i mean yeah there's a i talked to a dude at the gym a few weeks ago and I was he had like his knee was like clearly rehabbing his knee and we were sharing a machine I was like so what happened he's like oh he got your knee blown out in ju chitzu I'm like yeah I don't really need that yeah I don't I thought about like maybe doing some type of course but like now with my need there's no there's no way that I could even try to attempt anything like I don't even want to do intramural sports anymore sucks yeah so anyway naturally I gave this guy my

information and uh would you do it like would you actually get out there i i would not i am almost it would take a lot now rhodes on the other end other than the fact that his mom said absolutely not i would if rhodes was interested i would let him do it i'm not worried about him getting hurt um honestly my my only worry would be him like learning it and then like why do it to you doing it to his friends like fucking it's like it's like arm barring his buddy my friend put me in an arm bar once and it was it was terrible it's bad i mean i don't know i'm not worried about him like he's in preschool i don't need him to i don't know i mean i'm sure there's benefits of like he'll learn some he'll get confidence

and all that but i don't i don't know he's that's why i wanted it for parks he's like look He's really small for his age. Rhodes is, you know, same way. And I wanted him to, you know, get a little confidence. And if you can, if you can learn to defend yourself, like that does a lot for a lad, you know. So when we walked into the fall festival, the Austin, there's an Austin Taekwondo team full of kids, probably a little older, probably like 6, 7, 8. and they were doing a demonstration and it was like a this was like a something out of um uh napoleon dynamite where like you have somebody hitting play on a Bluetooth speaker

oh no and them all in place and doing like uh choreographs stuff and then they bring out the boards and they do like they get in lines and like there's a kid and know, run and do like a spinning, like heel kick. I don't know what they're called. They're doing like jump kicks and they're trying to crack these boards. And they're, the success rates, it's not great, about 40, 50 percent. But still, these kids are doing cool like spin kicks and shit. And they're boys and girls.

I'm like, that's pretty badass. And we're watching it. And I'm like, Rhodes is definitely going to ask to do this. And then Rhodes, after it was done, Rhodes's like, whoa, dad, like that. He's like, that was really cool karate. and the main guy, like the fucking old sensei, I don't know. He heard him and he goes, he was like, not karate, taekwondo. Oh, let him have it, dude.

He's four. He corrected my son. Come on, he's four. Hey, it's different art. When you're four, that's all karate. Yeah, I get, yeah. Kids all somehow know what karate is too. Oh, no.

If someone's playing the trumpet and a kid calls it a tuba, you got to let the kid know that it's a trumpet. It was great. But then I was missed opportunity. That guy should have had his clipboard because absolutely would have signed him up. I don't know. I did karate for a little bit, like when I was young, young. We started like a self-defense class

and then like you could stuck with it for a little while. Maybe like a month. I don't know. It wasn't a long time. But. Jiu-jitsu is one of the more like advanced ones, right? Like it's. Jiu-jitsu is like grappling.

Yeah. Yeah. It's in, yeah, it's all it is, it's not striking. it's learning it is learning how to yeah it is learning a lot of it's on the ground

yeah yeah on the ground getting letting a not letting another man take your back sure

as a wise man once said um you know apparently if you if you master jujitsu like no one can fuck you up

like you're able to not you know not you're gonna knock somebody out but you're able to defend yourself yeah if you like get into it or something

you can you can deescalate by like sure putting somebody you know getting somebody in a choke and like yeah having them i don't know respectfully tap out i would love for parks to learn one of those things you just he's just not that into it what if rogan was like teaching a class and on it would you enroll him in that man i i i just don't i don't think so no i don't really need that's just a little much just a little too too soon for him to hit the 10th planet jujitsu team as a four-year-old no but this guy was

like dude yeah he's like we get we get kids as young as three in there like do you what the how are you're teaching three year olds to like do this shit i think parks was five when we try i remember i remember you talking about it i got a really cute picture of him in his outfit like standing there looking yeah it was pretty cute because it was way too big for him he's a tiny little kid it's a good one so anyway i'm waiting for them to contact me they have my you should do it do it for content just take one class see how i don't dude i know like it it would go like this i would do a class i would really like it i would probably continue with it and that's where i would i'll come in one day and i'm like yeah i think

my rotator cuff shot again yeah yeah doing doing it with the kid i feel like that is an easier entry like doing the family one i like that they had that option he was like bring your wife too i'm like no we're probably good she's out you know nobody's wrong she's out on that no i bet i could get parks to do it if i'm the only one who gets to we don't need a break situation oh yeah i could get parks to do it if i went with them and did it with him i bet because like when we play baseball he's like dad you're you're gonna be there right like you're gonna like yeah dude i'll be there he just likes having me around did road roads last yesterday got him from school he's obsessed with tea ball right now backyard that's great dude he just wants

to hit off the tea that's great yeah i'm like parks is not that into it like he won't just want to practice on his own i have to always ask him i don't know if he just i think i think he just like he started hitting the ball harder and he like realized it and now he that's all he wants to do that's that's that's how it happens man yeah he like first time you like barrel one oh he knows man yeah he knows and i was like in my head i was like i was like i was like thinking way down the line i'm like what if that's this is all he plays what if he's just a one sport kid and he gets really into baseball and he's just baseball guy that'd be so sick but what if he's like baseball travel kid like travel league eye black eye black bright like he's like he's got all that yeah what of my kids

a baseball douchebag there's there's there's one kid like that nearly who has all the accessories he has two uh you know you know about the bruce bolt batting gloves yet no the bruce bolt batting gloves are really popular with with little leaguers and they're very expensive a lot of the big leaguers wear him too if this kid had two of those on he had a glove in his back pocket that he wasn't using one of those those yeah oh we've discussed the kids freaking love them what what what's so great about these i think they're actually don't quote me on this but they might there there's like a fun backstory to them actually and i think they might actually be a local company like around central texas or something i mean look

those are he yeah he has asked about batting gloves because there's a couple kids on his team to wear him. And the backer, shout out to the backer who sent me the bat bag, he included his kids batting gloves. And they're in the bag. I just have not showed him them because I know once he sees them, he's going to want to wear them. Do let him wear them. I just don't think he doesn't need him. I want him to learn the game, Vlad Guerrero. It gives you, it gives you confidence, though, when you look cool. Okay, I thought that was right there. You got like the fun accessories. It makes you, if you feel like more confident. Let him. wear them, ma'am. Yeah, I mean, dude, it's...

Yeah, and some of them have, like, see how the wrist thing, like, they go down, like, right here, like, they're really intense. Yeah, they look like striking gloves. I already made fun of parents who, like, a year ago, were letting their kids have bat bags, and now we've got a bat bag, which is incredibly useful. I might get parks to use for Christmas, actually. What color? I don't know. What's... I mean, they're pretty dope. Yeah. Maybe next season. Dude, I'm excited that he's got the, he's got the itch, man. Yeah, I'm too.

I want to go watch him play at some point. He's, he's, he's getting, he's, you know, it's, next season will be fun. He'll be, I think there's going to be some major strides. And he was already, like, pretty good. But there's one kid on his team that he knows is like the best. Because, you know, he's like, dad, will I be as good as him? Is it the coach's son? No, it's actually not.

Coach of son's good, but, like, no, this kid's got older brothers who play baseball. And, like, he's like, dad, if I practice, will I be as good as him? I was like, if you practice, you could be just as good as him. I'm like, but you got to practice. And now we're just dragging me out there like every day, which has been great because it's perfect weather, getting me out there at the right time. But maybe that's all it took, dude, because all the kids started liking it more once it stopped being 95 degrees for every game.

Go to RocketMoney.com slash circling. That's rocketmoney.com slash circling. we got a situation in baton rouge dave we need to talk about so head coach bray and kelly as we know was uh fired about two weeks ago interim head coach is already taking the spot and um they you know season goes on bad time to be a bozo because you can't fire bozo um story was out about how lSU was trying to negotiate a lower buyout figure for Brian Kelly saying we get, you know, you get a lump sum up front. Instead of paying you out over the next X amount of years, it'll, you know, come down from 53 million to,

let's say, 40, something like that. Brian Kelly's not having it. So now, LSU is saying, well, actually, the athletic director that fired Brian Kelly, who has been relieved of his duties as well, didn't have the authority to do so. So he hasn't technically been fired yet. And now we are pursuing a firing with cause. And of course, if you fire a head coach with cause, that means you don't have to pay the buyout number. And for cause can mean several different things. An example was the Texas basketball coach who got, had the domestic violence thing. He was fired for cause because of that.

Chris Beard. Chris Beard. Thank you. And so you have to actually do things outside of the scope of coaching football. in order to be fired for cause, mostly. Like you hit on a booster or somebody important's pregnant wife at a gas station. Yes, that. Recruiting violations is another one.

Anyway, the reason for cause has not been revealed as far as I've read. So that much is still to play out. You have to imagine, you could, I mean, I imagine any coach at any, big institution you could go find some recruiting things right yeah maybe that seems like the easiest one maybe but that also puts your school in jeopardy yeah right this this is making the head coaching vacancy at lsu which is a top tier head coaching job sure maybe seem less appealing to the next guy he's like this is a fucking mess we got the governor involved it was already a mess and now yeah this is a great move for brian kelly the governor's like yeah

We, you know, we want to have, like, some pretty heavy stipulations in this contract and, like, he's got to perform and this kind of stuff. You're not going to have a big buyout figure. That's problematic when you're trying to replace them with a big splash hire, especially when there are other vacancies, like Florida does another great job. Penn State, as we've talked about. There's some good openings right now. This is just turned into a fucking mess. And I think the smart play, we just, LSU, just to just write the check and move on. the governor say that like the agent that represents brian kelly also represent the uh a d he did but

i i looked it up i try to find that and i couldn't i couldn't connect those dots i'm not sure if that's actually true if that is the case and then they can create this contract that says like oh and like you get fired but like you get all this money as a buyout and then you are the one in charge of firing him too and then you're like oh you know you're gone now but like yeah that seems doubly crock. Like I said, when the, when the governor went on in his very Cajun accent about how ridiculous these contracts are, like he brought up some really good points. And these, you know, state universities like LSU is a state university, of course.

These, this money is public money. The taxpayers. Thanks, Bernie. Yeah, thanks, Bernie. Yeah, this is a great move from Brian Kelly. This is what he should do. Yeah. He's seeking a declaratory judgment.

So basically, like, he wants the court to say, oh, yeah, you were not, you were or were not. And he wants him to say, you were not fired for cause. So basically, like, an explanation, a definitive explanation of this one single thing. And if he was not fired for cause, as you mentioned, he gets $54 million in some capacity. I wonder for tax purposes, if the lump sum versus the, I would have. imagine you don't want the lump sum right or wait what do they always say when like the lottery winners it's better to do yeah i would i would take the the long-term payout you get you get more do yeah i don't really you get more for sure i'm dumb but it's over i don't win the lottery i don't know

how many years they pay out to i don't know how that works exactly with the lottery if i win the lottery i won't tell anybody but there will be signs like i will just be eating nachos all fucking day yeah What a pussy I'm gonna know they're gonna be badass They're gonna be brisket nachos Oh shit Fucking alpha They're gonna be poncho style

They're gonna be brisket nachos Have you had the poncho style at metals? No I've never had it Dude the gas I need to get those again Dude imagine me just eating Prisket nachos Right after a family jujitsu class

Yeah Yeah that sounds really nice I'm getting hungry To be honest I had Super Thai yesterday. Oh, how was that? It's good. I had Pad Thai.

I realized something. I don't really like Pad Thai that much. Dude, I'm so out on Pat Thai. I like Pad Thai as a hangover thing. Pat Thai and far. I'm out. Uh-uh. Miss me with that.

See, there's other things I like in Thai food way more than Pad Thai. I like Pad Sioux. I'm a big fan of that. But you already know my take on... For Micelli? I think Italian food is just fine, because if I want noodles, I'm going to have Asian noodles over Italian noodles. So I really like.

They're totally different sauces and cuisines. Hey, man, that's a bad take, but it's yours and that's fine. It's actually a really good take. A lot of people agree with me. That's a stinky take, buddy. Italian food is just fine. Okay. It's a hot take.

Of all the things you've said about your drinks that you like. It's just fine. Italian food is just fine. There's so many other different Mexicans better, Chinese is better. The only Italian food this guy's ever had is Fizzolis. Dude, they taught the world how to eat. This guy's only had Fizolesoles. And they're also part of the Axis Allies, so.

Are they the Axis allies? Axis powers. That's a real, that's confusing. They were just in the middle. Sorry, I was thinking to the game, Axis and Allies. That's just a bad take, my friend. You're just like a big old plate of nachos.

You know that? Pussy. Natchos are better? We need to bring that word back. Dude, when used correctly, it hits real hard. Also, the Brian Kelly thing, if he finds another job, like whatever he earns is that buyout is offset

by whatever contract that he, picks up. Damn. So LSU might get off just fine here. Just pay the man. He is, he probably what will happen if I had to guess, he will drag this on. And it will, in theory, make it more difficult for LSU. And it's going to be just kind of like messy and they're going to miss out on a coaching

candidate, somebody they like. And they're eventually just going to be like, all right, fuck it, we'll pay him, we'll pay you 48 or something. You know what I'm saying? They'll meet, they'll come to a settlement. And he'll be a very wealthy man who doesn't have to work again. But he will in some capacity. I almost want to see Brian Kelly in media on TV. No.

I just want to see what that would look like. He's too unlikable, man. I know. I kind of like that he's so unlikable. I would love to see what this very unlikable. guy has to say uh-uh i wouldn't hate to see him on tv it would be great if it was an unfiltered unlikable guy who was just brutally honest and you're just like watching you're like oh yeah like this kid stinks yeah this kid is uncoachable he's uncoachable that's what he said that one receiver that he just

absolutely undressed on the sideline you are fucking uncoachable who was it i don't remember god that's harsh it is i can't believe randy sometimes doesn't like Italian food? I said it's just fine. Doesn't say it's bad. There's just so much better food out there. That's the worst thing I've ever heard anyone say about Italian food is it is just fine. It's just fine. It's all the same. It's all basically the same thing, noodles, sauce, and meat. We're not doing that. Shut up. Shut up, Randy. All pasta is is the same. It's just in different shapes. It carries. It's a different vehicle. But it is the same. It's a texture play.

Okay. What's your favorite pasta? Ooh, you know, your boy likes a rigatoni. I grew up. We were a rigatoni family. I like rigatoni. Like, at some point, we made the, my parents made the conscious decision that we were going to be a rigatoni family. And I don't really know when that happened, because we did do a lot of spaghetti.

Okay, I shouldn't say that. I remember before, like, soccer practice, I would eat spaghetti and meatballs and then a glass of milk and go to soccer practice. dude that's a heavy milk yeah that's a heavy meal that's good shit way boy i mean i love milk but damn because my mom wanted me to get calcium for my bones because she has osteoporosis we're already 56 minutes inch i know dude i also don't consider uh pizza italian food anymore it's american food okay well that's really don't it's just not it's american food it's not it's american food that's what is your reasoning because it's

more American than Italian. Why? Because more Americans eat it. It's dough and tomato sauce at its core. What are you talking about? That's very Italian. Rani, that's like a, that's a really silly take. You understand that? You're being silly, dude. Pizza's its own category. I want to consider Italian food. Pizza's his own thing. Where did a pizza originate? Probably Italy. Italy. I don't know. Okay. You don't, you really don't know. Yeah, no, probably Italy, but I don't consider it, I consider its own genre of food. Okay. So like tacos, you can get tacos on every street corner here.

What about tacos? Are those American, too? No. Why? Because they're Mexican. Why is that? Because they're from Mexico. Oh, Randy's been to Mexico.

I'm trying to distinguish your two takes here. It doesn't seem like I'm doing a good job in my head. It's just a new genre. There's so many different types of pizzas. Who's John Ra? John Ra. John Rocker? He would like him.

You'd fucker? Yeah, you would like John Rocker. You and your fucking nachos? Asian noodles are better than Italian noodles. I mean, they're just very different sauces and spices. They're very, they're prepared completely differently. They're both great. You can enjoy both without disparaging the other.

No. Wow. I don't forget 1945. Dude's never been in Italy. You can tell. Okay, well, let's pull on that thread a little bit. What specifically? I guess 1939.

45, they switched sides at that point, right? They killed Mussolini. We're still back to World War II still. Shows this out. The Italians hung Mussolese. leaning famously or hanged him hanged him his that's a tough one his granddaughter and uh jen kerry got in a twitter beef one time a couple years ago really yeah i didn't know she was a chef that's the kind of joke you couldn't make without italians folks point made i'm just thinking

all the italian dishes that are just so fucking fire right now i just put my freaking calzone on randy's head do all I just stromboid all over that kid dude take it off your head dude your posissy Jesus look at this fucking guy taught the world how to eat pizuzzi and that pizza I had in capri still think about it I know I would love to create my own website or domain about that and I would do so using Squarespace that's right the all-on-one website platform designed to help you stand out and succeed online whether you're just starting out or scaling your business Squarespace gives you everything you need to claim your domain showcase your offerings to the professional website, grow your brand and get paid all in

We're going to just mix it up. What do you want to do? Your call. What do you want to do, Dave? Is gambling, ruining sports? Not good. Low key. It's really affecting sports in a not-so-fun way.

M-O-B. It's mad on chill. We got some drama in Major League Baseball. The Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Classet, I think is how you say it, and Luis Ortiz have been indicted for pitch rigging. They were paid between like $3,000 and $7,000 per pitch to the throw first pitch balls and at and during at-bats so somebody pointed these out and i don't know the contracts of these guys how much money they'd made it seems like uh the risk reward right like

but there was more to it than that because they were taking some of their own money um oh really one of these guys went to the bank and and withdrew like 50,000 in cash and he handed that to one of these gamblers who said, I want to bet alongside you while we rigged these pitches. So there's more two than just collecting $7,000 for throwing a ball. And someone pulled up the pitches that were referenced here. And the guy, like, he was well, like way outside the zone because you don't, you don't want the guy to swing. Guy swings and misses as a strike and you've lost the bat. So he's like spiking them in the dirt, like they're really, really bad. So I had a funny thought. So you saw the clip of like, he threw that one. He threw like a slider way outside and low.

The guy swung at it. And then immediate, like, according to investigators, afterward, one of the gamblers sent him a text, and it was a jiff of a guy like, it was a jiff of a guy hanging himself or something. And it was like a sad face. Because, like, he was supposed to be, you know, the whole thing was, like, on a walk.

I don't know what the bet was. And the guy ended up swinging in a bad pitch. And, like, so it screwed up their bet. And I had this funny thought. was like, what if, like, one of our circling back jiffs was, like, in one of these? Like, like, investigators, like, it comes out. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, doing the head explosion thing. Yeah.

Dude, it's so, this stuff, I mean, I'm sure so much of this stuff goes on that it's never going to be uncovered because it's so easy to do so. I mean, if you throw a first pitch ball during a bat, it doesn't really affect the game, like, at all. It's just one pitch in it at bat, you know? it's just so easy to do it's like if someone came to us and it was like if you if you could bet on podcasting it's like all right dylan you get you got to say this line like you got to use say this line yeah oh okay yeah you got to you got to do something during the podcast as i got 50 grand on it i'm going to give you 10 like yeah i'll fucking do it that i mean of course we don't

have 40 million dollar contracts no what are you going to say i was you say or like how far into the pot like is it going to be like 40 minutes in before randy has a terrible take yeah i think it's good thing people were betting doing odds in the chat like a couple weeks ago about whether i was going to do the metal ranchos drop or not see i you can't know there you go like how easy it would be to rig something like that i mean these guys again they make so much what's the thing polymarket that you can like bet on anything whether kyle's mom is good yeah Kyle's mom is going to, what was it? She was going to go to Israel.

She was going to, she was going to bomb a Gaza hospital. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. South Park. There's more to it. Just go watch it. Yeah. It sucks, dude. It does.

It's a shame. Gambling is just so prevalent now and it's being promoted everywhere you look. It's legal. It's legal in so many different states now. it's just so hard to stay away from this kind of stuff i missed the days where i to go to a sketchy URL i know and like what's app a dude we still have that in texas man for now i think gambling will be legalized here at some point uh hard to say it hard been our most it it's just it i mean like if you're if you're if you're the state it's like you're

leaving a lot of money on the table. Yeah. Anyway, check out our friends at Underdog. Yeah, seriously. But higher or lower? Higher or lower, you got it right now. There you go, Andy. There you go.

So, yeah, these guys are most likely going to be banned for life from baseball. Damn. And all over getting $7,000 to throw a ball. Again. Now let me look at it. Andy funny every time that Madel Ranchos does or does not play. Dude, this dude, Clos A, was, he was going to make $6.4 million next season. Damn, now he's going to be playing in Closs A ball.

That's good, dude. I think I'm saying that correctly. I don't know. You understand the sports reference I made? No, not at all. Oh, okay. Jeez, Rennie's check out of the show. Rennie's like, wow, I got a bad take.

He's still replaying that bad take in his brain. I probably should have said that. Do you think I really care about? and ball what's your favorite that's a great you know what randy good take alert what's your favorite like type of food chicken strips hmm chicken strips are good uh hamburgers i think burgers a good burger goes along like wait wait is a burger is that uh american yes even though it was created in umberg germany i don't even know if it was commanded at hamburg i think there's there's i'm gonna look that up because i think there's conflicting sports it does give american but it's like

Yeah. I think yours would be sausage. These are my Polish. These are American foods. This is, these are my American foods. Hamburgers, uh, French fries, pizza. I don't know what a French pie is. Potato chips, mac and cheese and, uh, barbecue. Those are like, to me, very American foods.

Sorry, man, I don't know what a French fry is. Freedom fries, I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, that's American fries. That's American to me. Mm-mm. Hot dogs, too. Hot dogs, of course, glissies. very American it's a derivative of the sausage sausage I don't know where the hot dog originated

though oh well I kind of do yeah I invented hot dogs invented hot dogs yeah man pretty crazy we roasted some over the fire I've had a good fire roasted glissie in a while that's I think to me is that's the top hot dog it goes that then ballpark then turn dog I like a Johnsonville brought brats are good too brats are good brats are good man I'm team brot

we do brats they're good some sauteed onions and peppers you gotta saute them oh yeah we do brats once every couple weeks sometimes I like

sometimes I like getting a good Chicago dog from like wiener snitzel there's nothing better me in wiener circle vener's no you've never been a vener Viener Sneetsu.

Viener Sneetsu. Dylan got the chocolate shake at Wiener Circle. I heard. I didn't get the chocolate shake. Someone did while I was there, and I saw some titties. I heard that you gave them the vanilla shake. I saw some big old bouncing tities. I didn't return the vanilla shake.

Hey, don't clip that, somebody out there. Is it Wiener Salkie? It's a thing. It's definitely a thing, man. You didn't return the favor with a vanilla shake. No, I didn't return with the vanilla shake. What would that have looked like, though? You know what it would have looked like.

like i don't tell me have you ever seen like a a boat like the prop on a boat yeah yes i've seen a prop on a boat good question well there you go okay okay i got it yeah yeah you catch a charter doing something like that though i didn't want to oh whatever they did it ooh i don't think you can catch it can catch a charge for pulling your titties out i think yeah didn't uh the Didn't it like the cast of the vampire diaries? Like, they get arrested for flashing people? They dumped them out? I think so.

Do you see, speaking of dumping them out? And speaking about, speaking of bombs, did you see that Sidney's Sweeney movie isn't doing great, the boxing movie? Major flop. Hey, if you're, well, maybe in a few years. Here's the thing, though. Here's the thing.

All credit to her acting abilities. I think she's a good actor. I think she's fine, yeah. But you take someone who's like, you know, sex figure. Like she's known for being... Sex figure. She's known for being this hot, you know, blonde with large breasts. And you make her look as unattractive as possible for a movie.

It's not exactly going to pull people in. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's... Again, no offense to, you know. What they're trying to do. If you're a guy and that's rough. If you're really into, what is that supposed to mean? She looked rough in the movie.

What's that mean? I think you know what it means. She looks rough on the movie. Dave rough. If you're a guy and you like the swings and you want more swings, you need to go see this movie. You need to support her. Yeah.

I kind of am interested in the story. But dude, also it's a boxing movie. But nobody, boxing's kind of, boxing's kind of out right now. I don't know, man. I think she'll be fine. She's going to be, she's going to come out of this okay. But yeah, this is not going to be one she'll be proud of, I don't think. She had to do the body transformation and stuff.

Yeah, she gained a bunch of weight. That's like very taxing on actors. Anyway, what do you find, Randy? I'm seeing that this might have been a thing that they were, uh, there was a rumor back in the day that they were, uh, there was a rumor back in the day that they flashing people on a bridge, like motorists, but now some TV producer back is said that they were taking pictures and it was a camera flash and the officer misunderstood. I don't know. I don't know, but they were arrested back. How old were they? I think they're in like their 20s, like upper 20s. Nina Dobryv and all that changes things. She is quite beautiful. All right,

folks. We'll see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Bye. Bye. Thank you. You know what I'm going to do.
